Previous thread: http://www.tgchan.org/kusaba/questarch/res/486939.html

You wake up. You don't remember hitting the ground. It's dark here. You don't know how long you've been here. You hear voices.

>You got the wings?
>Yeah, put em in the caravan.
>You remember to tie the bag this time?
>Yes, of course I did.
>Because if we have beasts following us back again, Lady Aradia will have our heads.
>I KNOW that. Everything's good to go.
>...Do we take the boy?
>No need. The bounty stands for the wings, just leave 'im. The jungle will clean up for us.

A shuffling noise through the foliage. A wheeled vehicle rolls away, fades into the distance. All is quiet. Or so it seems at first. You hear various insects calling to each other, birds populate the trees. You are not alone.

You rise up. Your wings have been taken, your body defiled by the unworthy.

You are absolutely fucking livid.

You stand in a clearing in what appears to be a jungle. Strange, exotic flora carpet the surroundings. Colorful fruit and flowers hang from trees. You hear birds singing merrily in the treetops. Strange though, you can't see a single one. You don't see a single living thing.

They had a wagon, it's trail should be fairly obvious. Use your extendo arms to swing through the trees. Also watch out for the birds. I think they might be the cleanup crew.

Is your halo missing? Test your arm stretching and strength before giving chase, we don't want to be surprised. Also examine self for obvious injuries that might need immediate treatment.

Congratulations, you're a Fallen now.
If what I think is correct is correct, you should no longer be constrained by the rules of angelic morality. But as a consequence, your former brethren will hunt and revile you until you are eventually tossed into the bowels of Hell.
So, you know, try to have fun with it, and all that...

There's nothing wrong with falling. The air was too thin and dry! Plus you were defending your friend, even if she set you up. You only need to worry about getting punished, when you actually do something wrong. No reason to throw away your morals just because you took a little tumble! Fortunately those morals don't constrain you from eviscerating the guys who dewinged you. But you can totally still be nice to people who aren't actually trying to cut you apart and sell the pieces.

The jungle growth here seems TOO CLOSE FOR SWINGING. Luckily there is a clear path to your left.

Your missing wings seem to be your only injury. The nubs where they were appear to be cauterized by some sort of heated blade, so there is no immediate danger of bleeding out. Your HALO is still there.

Pursue your assailants.

...if you recover your wings, is there a way to reattach them? Is this a mission of reclamation, or vengeance?
>>
No. 495710 ID: 47a120

You don't have to swing to go super fast. Your hands extend and retract and are super strong. Lift yourself in the air with your hands extended far and use them to "walk" rapidly (the speed is mostly determined by the length of the limb used for walking).
You can further accelerate it by grabbing something sold and shortening hand (pulling self towards it) or bracing against the grown and extending (pushing yourself)
>>
No. 495722 ID: bf54a8

basically gorilla walk with super long arms.

anyway even if you can't stick your wings back on just getting them back would be nice. but. you should instead follow them, they are going to find someone that BUYS angel wings. he would be the far far worse monster in this.

why throw? Extendo arm and STAB. That way you are less likely to miss.

Fuck it, throw the spear back, then take off back after your wings. Hopefuly it will duck away giving you time you speed off back on the trail to your wings.

We want our wings back not to deal with some bozo with a spear gun. I say ignore him for now unless he keeps being an ass. just make sure to watch your back as I'm sure having a harpoon shoot up you bum will not help you in the slightest.
>>
No. 498365 ID: 47a120

The guy either shot us and missed or fired a warning shot, either way turning your back on him could be unwise.

I would say be prepared for a fight but try to talk, maybe it was really a warning shot. "Why did you shoot your spear at me?"

The figure rushes out of the growth beside you and attempts to gut you with his gun. A frantic fight fractures the fragile forestscape.

The two of you seem fairly evenly matched. How should you end this?

The assassin speaks up.
>You think you can fight? Run? No. You have nothing.

You swing another punch at him, dodging a thrust from a combat knife.

>The Blood Hunters control the jungle! There is no prey we cannot take down.

His voice is heavily modified, grating. You don't see a face moving under the wraps, and that disconcerts you incredibly. Another stab. Another dodge.

>I know what you are. I saw what Her agents took from you. You are a False Angel, and you Fell. But if you think you can just come down here and take what is ours you are gravely mistaken!

He takes an unfired harpoon from his quiver and slashes it at you, nicking you in the shoulder. He's fast, but repeated solar flares keep him off balance.

>Even SHE, the TRUE Angel, will be naught but a trophy on the Hunter's Wall! Give up, boy. You lost before you even started.

He shoots out of the jungle, riding a bolt of green lightning. You grab his boot and use his momentum to swing him violently into a tree.

It doesn't appear that he is dead, but he isn't moving.
>>
No. 501079 ID: d6ef5d

>His voice is heavily modified, grating. You don't see a face moving under the wraps, and that disconcerts you incredibly.
That's because he's wearing a full head encasing helmet under those wraps, complete with speaker.

>It doesn't appear that he is dead, but he isn't moving.
Don't trust that he isn't faking. Carefully make sure he's actually out of it, then disarm him and tie him up. Use his own wraps and clothes, if you have to.
>>
No. 501089 ID: 9ddf68

hit him hard in the face to make sure he's out then loot his body for weapons and get back to following those two bozos that took your wings. we have wasted to much time here already. Just don't try and kill him, he's not worth it.

Full head metal helmet. Punching him in the face isn't exactly a sure fire knockout.

You strip the hunter of anything useful and secure him to a tree trunk.

YOU FIND:

>1 broken harpoon gun
>4 intact harpoons
>1 quiver
>1 coin purse (12 silver, 3 gold)
>1 combat knife
>1 compass
>1 first aid kit, all parts accounted for
>1 MANTLE OF THE HUNTER

No. 504024 ID: 9ddf68

hot damn you finally got a shirt (or close enough) and some other nice gear as well, now that this ass hat is dealt with lets go find that trail with the two clowns that took our wings before it grows cold.
>>
No. 504025 ID: d6ef5d

Local currency and first aid kits are always useful. (Although would a kit designed for his artificial 'biology' be any good for yours?). And a knife and compass are also great thing to have.

The mantel will cover up the broken stumps of your wings if you want to hide what you are (although, the halo is still a problem).

Anyways, discard the broken gun, quiver the harpoon, equip the mantel and quiver, and stow the rest of the gear on your person as best you can.

Then, if the prisoner has awakened, it's interrogation time. He knows about the men who took your wings, and the forces in play in this world. We need that information.

1. He doesn't seem to have any honor to me.

Guys, neither of those things are things you do to prisoners before interrogating them.

You heard him taunting us before. He knows things. About another angel down here, about the hunters. That's information we need. We make him talk before anything else.

No. 504339 ID: 62f448

Yes! Interrogate him first. Ask him who he is, who he's working for and what he wants with you. If he doesn't comply, threaten to hurt him. If he continues to not comply, DO hurt him. Then kill him when you're done with him.
